Memorial Park playground renovation

The playground at Memorial Park is one of the
oldest playgrounds in Chehalem Park and Recreation District. The playground
manufacturer is no longer in business, and replacement parts are not available.
Sections of the playground are rusting through the painted powder coating, and
there other maintenance issues as well.

The Newberg Rotary Clubs as well as Kiwanis Club are helping to fund a new playground for the space where the current
playground structures are located. This will mean a closure of the playground
for several months.

Some new equipment highlights will include swings and a large climbing dome.

A public information meeting is
scheduled for 6 p.m Wednesday, December 19th in the Memorial Park Scout House,
which is next to the park shelter.

If you have questions, please contact CPRD Park
Supervisor Jim McMaster, at 503-209-2222.
